In addition, Obama balanced Dolan with an opposing Catholic voice from Sister Simone Campbell at the Convention. Good move.<br />Let’s face it: Cardinal Dolan is a Prince of the Church who wants to be King-maker. <br />But I’d like to humbly remind the good Cardinal, as he parades under the spotlights <br />of the political conventions: that there is room for only ONE real super-star in his religion. <br />The one who started it! <br />For as the Cardinal addresses and blesses the Republicans and their billionaire buddies,<br />as he smiles upon those who would destroy Social Security & voucher Medicare to death,<br />and as he struts on the stage with those who readily admit they “don’t care about the very poor”<br />......it would be good for the dear Cardinal to remember -and take to heart- <br />the words of his boss, who once said “Whatsoever you do for the least of these - you do for me”.<br />Unless perhaps, ...just perhaps, the Cardinal is working for someone else these days?<br />Just asking.<br />Our Founding Fathers wisely realized that politics, secular power, and religion do not mix.<br />That they bring out the worst in each other, ....that ultimately they would destroy each other, and us.<br />A pastor.....should stick to his pulpit, not political conventions. Period. <br /> <br />stanchazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953789573883212572noreply@blogger.com
